After walking in the library doors I
went to the front desk and talked to the clerk there. After asking where I
could find information on genealogy. She directed me to the reference desk. I repeated
my question and the lady informed me that there were websites accessible from
home. She told me that some required a pin and library card and gave me a
pamphlet informing me of them. She also helped me by printing off a website of
links. I went on to ask for a newspaper archive going back to the 1930’s and
was told to go to the central library in order to find them. Other information
was given concerning their hours, location, and parking requirements. Next I
went to one of the computers and searched for “century world history” and
changed it to “20th century” I found an eyewitness, and looked it up
in the nonfiction section, but I was unable to find it even though it was
supposed to be in the library at the time. Still, in the same area I was able
to find a book titled Our Century in Pictures put out by Life and it fit
the idea of what I wanted.
